Pony Up Rescue Collective is founded on the idea that rescuing horses does some good, but rescuing horses that engage with underserved communities and at-risk youth does a great deal more good.

Founded in January 2023 by seasoned horse handler and trainer Kelsey Merrow, the Pony Up Rescue Collective operates out of a private farm in Tivoli, NY and has thus far rescued 15 horses and ponies from slaughter, rehabilitated and rehomed seven of them. During the process, we actively engage our Hudson Valley neighbors through free health and wellness programming.

After a successful pilot period sustained by many volunteers and even more kind donations, we want to make our rescue collective a permanent resource in the Hudson Valley. We need your help to make it happen!

Imagine what we could do with funding.

Imagine if we expanded this community-driven effort with larger, more sustainable funding streams. We would welcome your tax-deductible donation today.
